OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - An Omaha teen has been sentenced to up to 12 years in prison for his role in the gun-play death of another man last year.

Omaha television station WOWT reports that 18-year-old Montana Garbez was sentenced Friday to six to 12 years for manslaughter for the April death of 20-year-old Scott Evans, of Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Garbez pleaded guilty to the charge in September. In exchange, a felony weapons count was dropped.
